What Is Love?

Listen to poem:

What is love? love is osmosis something absorbed it creeps up on you right through your pores it cant be avoided unless there is no contact it generates heat... and a yearning for contract Love has moved mountains love has dug depths Love can pull you into a emotional wreck A spiral up... a spiral down the elevator underground Love knows no bounds it knows no time it continues on without reason or rhyme it can take you to the depths of your very soul and cradle you in comfort, be your end goal For Stephen ... what is love (C) Artimus Susan Manley How do you turn it off? that was your question I know.. I haven't a clue... I am just a Bard.

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem. I found it uplifting. True, love has no bounds. You captured the essence of love quite well. Congrats on being featured.

Thanks, I actually wrote that live in yahoo messenger with someone who asked me "everything I have ever loved, I still love. How do I make it stop." I answered him after the poem. I don't know. I am only a bard. And thats the truth. In my experience love just shows up like a muse and stays as long as it wants. Only contact moderates it. Time can dull it. But we love whom and what we love.
